AUSTIN, TX– National Instruments announces further integration of its Multisim and LabVIEW platforms.
 
The platforms allow engineers to identify and analyze design efficiency. Errors can be detected at an earlier stage of the design process, and circuit design is better enhanced.
 
Multisim allows circuit schematics to be built interactively, as well as simulates circuit behavior in a graphical environment. The platform abstracts the complexity of SPICE simulation and achieves a faster prototype turnaround, bridging the gap between design and test.
 
LabVIEW allows engineers to increase their productivity in circuit design in a cost-efficient and timely manner. The platform provides rapid connectivity simulation and real-world measurements.
